RTP Unveils Details about Upcoming “World Debut” of Dance Disco Heat
This is a live Disco event that Phillip Ramirez has produced, co-written and is presenting as a “world debut”.
The show opens with a grand introduction by Hostess LAVIENA PARIS (Starlet Knight) who welcomes OCTAVIUS (Lead singer /Phillip Ramirez), who then tells his story in song to the audience through musical numbers as well as dialogue – Dancers ADAM and STEVE mirror his life through interpretive dance.
The audience watches as OCTAVIUS’s story unfolds before their very eyes – from the struggles of finding acceptance to his first moments of fame, meeting the love of his life and the onset of the AIDS epidemic.Professional recording artist and actor Phillip Ramirez will emulate but not imitate Sylvester, singing some of his greatest hits, such as “You Make Me Feel Mighty Real” and Do You Wanna Funk?” while pleasing the audience with his comedic and dramatic character, OCTAVIUS.
Phillip is backed by three talented divas, known as the Mega Girls. Local talents Katrinah Lewis, Chloe Williams, and Jasmine Banks, bring to life the unique vocal sound of the disco era. Local dancers Andrew Etheredge (ADAM) and Julius Smith (STEVE) masterfully weave in OCTAVIUS’S storyline while catapulting the audience back to the disco era.
The theatrical experience begins from the moment guests open the doors of the Richmond Triangle Theatre. Guests are encouraged to come dressed in their favorite disco attire. Guests will have the chance to relive a time of joy, love, and freedom, and become a part of the spectacle – We are excited and honored to have the opportunity to present this exciting world debut of “Dance Disco Heat” to the Richmond Area.
